3 Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) and the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) NAAQS Multipollutant context Need for a conceptual model Possible frameworks AOP approach illustrated with case reports 3
4 National Ambient Air Quality Standard Review Process Figure from the U.S. EPA. Preamble to the Integrated Science Assessments. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-15/067, 2015, available at 4 4
5 NAAQS are promulgated for individual criteria pollutants: o particulate matter (PM) o ozone (O 3 ) o oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) o sulfur oxides (SO x ) o carbon monoxide (CO) o lead (Pb) There are two sets of standards: o Primary based on health effects o Secondary based on welfare effects One of the criteria pollutants (PM) is a mixture Currently, NO x and SO x are being reviewed together for the secondary NAAQS 5
6 2004 NAS Report: Air Quality Management in the United States Recommendation: Address multiple pollutants in the NAAQS review and standard setting process Although the committee does not believe that the science has evolved to a sufficient extent to permit the development of multipollutant NAAQS, it would be scientifically prudent to begin to review and develop NAAQS for related pollutants in parallel and simultaneously NOTE: There are Currently no Plans to Attempt the Development of Multipollutant Primary NAAQS 6

8 Groupings of Pollutants and their Effects By fundamental biological reactivity Oxidative injury Affinity for neural receptors Recognition by immune cells Covalent binding to DNA or proteins (Mauderly, et al., Inhalation Toxicology 22(S1):1, 2010) By surrogate marker Endothelial function Endothelial progenitor cells Blood pressure ANS measures Systemic inflammation Insulin resistance (S. Rajagopalan, AAAR March 2010) 8

14 Common Adverse Outcome Paradigm Developed by NRC to guide U.S. EPA in conducting a cumulative risk assessment of a class of chemicals (i.e., phthalate esters) which share a common health outcome rather than a common mechanism/mode of action It broadened the focus to include contributions to the common health outcome resulting from stressors other than phthalates 14

25 The AOP framework also illustrates how effects caused by mixtures of chemicals that act via the same molecular initiating event...or affect pathways that converge at common intermediate steps can be aggregated for risk characterization. AOPs do not, however, address the question of what dose of chemical will cause sufficient perturbation to drive the pathway to the adverse outcome. Ankley, et al., Env Tox Chem 29: 730,

27 Background Air pollution is a complex mixture of particulate and gaseous components. Conventional epidemiologic and toxicological approaches cannot evaluate all of the possible unique multipollutant mixtures. A large number of toxicological studies have been conducted for the purpose of elucidating underlying changes in genes, biomarkers, proteins, etc. in response to air pollutants. The utility of toxicological findings is limited because of the inability to link such changes to an adverse outcome that is relevant to risk assessment. This type of mechanistic data may be most informative for risk assessment when translated into measurable changes including organ responses, clinical consequences, and impacts to the population at large. 27
28 Goals Develop a conceptual model for air pollution mixtures that links initiating events at the cellular and molecular level to population-wide impacts Identify measurable endpoints which serve to integrate the effects of individual criteria air pollutants found in inhaled mixtures o Airway hyperresponsiveness - a key feature of asthma (Case Report 1) o Endothelial dysfunction - a risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) disease (Case Report 2) o Physiological changes at the organ level which can be measured in the clinic/laboratory Incorporate information from experimental and observational studies into a sequence of steps occurring over multiple levels of biological organization 28
29 Case Report 1: Irritant gases, airway responsiveness, and respiratory morbidity Irritant gases = O 3, NO 2, and SO 2 Airway responsiveness reflects the sensitivity of airway smooth muscle to natural or pharmacological stimuli. Epidemiologic Studies Short term exposures and associations with: Respiratory symptoms Asthma medication use Respiratory-related emergency department (ED) visits Hospital admissions (HA) including those for asthma Long-term exposures and associations with: Respiratory symptoms Bronchitis Asthma New onset asthma Potential co-pollutant confounding for both short- and long-term studies but more evidence for independent effects in short-term studies 29
30 Controlled Human Exposure Studies Case Report 1 Formation of secondary oxidation products in the lung lining fluid immune responses in healthy individuals Neutrophil influx in airways Th2 polarization (repeated exposures) Altered cell surface molecules on monocytes that are characteristic of innate immunity and antigen presentation immune responses in allergic asthmatics Eosinophils, ECP in lung lining fluid Pro-allergic cytokines Activation of the TLR4 pathway Physiologic changes in airway smooth muscle (healthy and asthmatics) airway resistance due to acetylcholine release by airway nerves and to inflammatory mediators Inherent reactivity of airway smooth muscle (healthy and asthmatics) Airway hyperresponsiveness following a direct or allergen challenge Th2: T helper cell 2 ; ECP: eosinophil cationic protein; TLR4: Toll receptor 4 30
31 Toxicological Studies Case Report 1 Formation of secondary oxidation products in the lung lining fluid immune responses Allergic sensitization in naïve animals Activation of the TLR4 pathway Dendritic cell maturation Polarization to Th2 and Th17 phenotype Enhanced allergic responses in allergen-sensitized animals Physiologic changes in airway smooth muscle airway resistance due to neural reflexes involving vagus nerve Inherent reactivity of airway smooth muscle Hyperreactivity of vagal nerves due to inflammatory mediators Stimulation of local axon reflexes with release of tachykinins Mast cell degranulation Airway remodeling Disruption of the epithelial-mesenchymal unit during lung development Th17: T helper cell 17 31
32 Inhaled Mixture O 3 NO 2 SO 2 Molecular Initiating Events Redox reactions and/or altered redox state Formation of oxidation/ nitration/sulfitolysis products in lung lining fluid Amplification by influx and activation of neutrophils and eosinophils Cellular Responses Acethylcholine release by airway nerves Cellular release of histamine or other mediators Airway epithelial Injury Altered cell signaling: airway epithelial, inflammatory and antigen presenting cells Organ Responses Acute airway inflammation Airway smooth muscle contractility and sensitivity to agonists Persistent airway inflammation/ remodeling Impaired lung development Adjuvant effects on allergic sensitization Individual Responses Reversible airflow obstruction Respiratory symptoms Induction of atopy/asthma Population Responses Respiratory morbidity: Asthma-related Hospital admissions/ Emergency department visits Incidence of asthma Airway Hyperresponsiveness This simplified AOP illustrates a sequential series of higher order effects linking exposure to NO 2, O 3, and SO 2 to an adverse outcome with relevance to risk assessment. Airway hyperresponsiveness is a measurable endpoint which can serve to integrate the upstream effects of O 3, NO 2 and/or SO 2 in the respiratory tract. HA: hospital admissions; ED: emergency department 32
33 Case Report 2 PM and O 3, endothelial dysfunction, and CV disease Endothelial dysfunction is defined as impaired blood vessel response to specific vasodilators. It can occur in conduit arteries and microvascular resistance vessels. Epidemiologic Studies Short term exposures to PM and associations with: CV morbidity/mortality Myocardial infarction (MI) Endothelial dysfunction Long term exposures to PM and associations with: CV morbidity/mortality Atherosclerosis Endothelial dysfunction Short-term exposures to O 3 and associations with: Clinical CV events related to coronary artery disease, MI, atherosclerosis 33
34 Case Report 2 Controlled Human Exposure Studies PM: Endothelial dysfunction in healthy subjects and subjects with CV disease O 3 : No endothelial dysfunction in healthy subjects Toxicological Studies PM and O 3 : Endothelial dysfunction How does PM or O 3 inhalation lead to systemic effects? Evidence suggests that pulmonary inflammation/oxidative stress mediates systemic inflammation/oxidative stress What is the mechanism underlying endothelial dysfunction? It is likely due to decreased nitric oxide bioavailability which can occur via several mechanisms 34
35 Inhaled Mixture PM O 3 Molecular Initiating Events Oxidantinduced lung injury and inflammation resulting in systemic inflammation and oxidative stress Cellular Responses Reduced NO bioavailability in vascular cells: Decreased enos Altered enos function Disruption of cell signaling Destruction of NO by superoxide Organ Responses Altered endothelialdependent vasodilation Vasoconstriction/ Coronary vasospasm Vascular inflammation Platelet aggregation/ thrombosis Smooth muscle cell proliferation/vascular remodeling Individual Responses Blood pressure Myocardial ischemia Plaque/Atheroma Myocardial infarction Atherosclerosis Population Responses Cardiovascular morbidity/ mortality: Hospital admissions/ Emergency department visits Disease progression Endothelial Dysfunction This simplified AOP illustrates a sequential series of higher order effects linking exposure to PM and O 3 to an adverse outcome with relevance to risk assessment. Cellular responses refer to responses in all vascular cell types. Endothelial-dependent vasodilation is a measurable indicator of endothelial dysfunction which can serve to integrate the upstream effects of PM and O 3 in the vasculature. NO: nitric oxide; enos: endothelial nitric oxide synthase; BH 4 : tetrahydrobiopterin 35
36 Relevancy The proposed model has the potential to facilitate multipollutant risk assessment by: Providing a framework that can be used to converge the effects of air pollutants based on common underlying mechanisms Identifying data gaps Enabling prioritization of targeted research in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible Allowing the incorporation of biomarker data that is predictive of clinically significant outcomes 36
37 Limitations Population effects may be mediated by alternative mechanisms than the ones identified Model does not account for adaptation and repair Model does not address dose-response considerations Toxicokinetic and toxicodynamics data have not been incorporated 37
38 Dosimetry links exposure and response Annie Jarabek What a Difference the Dose Makes Webinar Series April 28,
39 Advancing AOP and MOA Need to define different dose metrics in order to apply key events of adverse outcome pathways (AOP) and mode of action (MOA) in risk assessment Screening dosimetry insufficient for quantitative response analysis Portal-of-entry descriptions Broad context re: both endpoints and chemical classes Support transparency, causal linkage and interoperability along continuum: exposure to dose-response analysis Source: US EPA Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) FY16-19 Strategic Research Action Plan 39
40 Impact This approach facilitates the evaluation of health effects resulting from exposure to air pollution mixtures. Evidence from epidemiologic, controlled human exposure and toxicological studies of single criteria pollutants can be utilized to develop AOPs for mixtures of these pollutants. AOPs may be simplified, as illustrated here, or more detailed, including multiple effects occurring in multiple compartments at each level of biological organization. They may be used to indicate the certainty of mechanistic linkages between steps and to portray potential biomarkers of exposure or effect. AOPs may allow the incorporation of toxicodynamic, toxicokinetic data into a conceptual model. This may lead to the quantitation of exposure-response relationships for multipollutant mixtures. 40
41 Future Direction The outputs from this project are helping to advance EPA s science assessments, moving us one step closer to explicit consideration of multipollutant evidence in reviews of the NAAQS. 41
